    I surprised my boyfriend with this place for his birthday which so happens to also be on Valentine’s Day. Even though they were busy, they took time to personalize his experience and even gave him a gift and a free plate to try! Definitely was impressed with the food, atmosphere & service!

    Lively atmosphere a little hard to hear the server explain the menu, however, the service did not delay. Bartender went above and beyond walked around the bar to hand us our drinks as to not reach over the people were sitting in front of us. Everything we ate was amazing. Definitely will be returning!

    Fantastic experience. Booked this for my girlfriend’s birthday and they gave her a complimentary gift along with a complimentary appetizer. Server was great and food was top tier as always. We also went during happy hour so the dinner and drinks were cheaper than face value. Overall 5 stars.

    Anastasia was our server and she was excellent. We had spicy edamame, miso soup, and two different sushi rolls. For desert, we had the fried doughnuts. Everything was so delicious and fresh.
